Chapter 1298: A Bunch of Fools

"Perhaps we should be grateful now that the BOSS is only interested in you, Chairman Mo Wen; another person couldn't hold up."

The Twelve-winged Angel, standing aside, spoke with a hint of teasing.

At that moment, the other Huaxia high-level players who gathered nearby all nodded.

Although many times being crushed by someone is very unpleasant, they still have to admit that Mo Wen Qianchen is truly formidable… However, regarding Su Sheng's identity, the circle has long been well aware.

The mythic heroes of the past, now bearing down on them, don't seem that hard to accept.

If Su Sheng really is that pure dark horse who popped up from some unknown corner, they'd truly be distressed…

Although the title "Deadly Scholar" has vanished for seven or eight years, it still counts as an insider.

However, they can no longer afford to think too much.

Because that BOSS has already stepped a few paces to the front of everyone.

"A bunch of insects… ha!"

The BOSS sneered, swung the huge axe in his hand, and black demonic flames surged across it.

Su Sheng's face hardened, and he stepped forward, raising his Shield and charging.

At this moment, after the recent Purification and healing by the Priests, Feng Wu Jiu Tian also seized the opportunity to grant himself a Buff.

Su Sheng is now at full status!

Most importantly, after the recent movement, the broken Defensive Stance's 15‑second timer has passed, and its cooldown has now reset.

Defensive Stance!

Boom!!

A terrifying impact rushes in! Su Sheng doesn't budge!

Giant!!

Su Sheng couldn't help but think, it seems this Giant Elephant Battle Armor still can't be thrown away.

At this late stage, the BOSSes they encounter are almost all massive.

The Giant Elephant Battle Armor's presence makes this period very comfortable for Su Sheng.

Su Sheng couldn't help but think of the skeletal divine dragon set armor from the National War commander-exclusive exchange vault.

Even if he were to obtain it, without Laru's hammer, he must keep this Giant Elephant Battle Armor; at times—like now—it is indeed more solid than a few extra attribute points.

After all, at this stage, with his Shield's mitigation and damage immunity, he can temporarily withstand this BOSS; a little more or less defense doesn't matter.

As for attack, against this BOSS's 100 million total HP, a lord‑level BOSS that heals 2% per second—2 million HP each second—adding attack stats is hardly worth mentioning.

Conversely, without the Giant Elephant Battle Armor's passive, being knocked into an unbalanced state would prevent maintaining Defensive Stance, and he couldn't hold this BOSS at all.

…But, no matter what Su Sheng is thinking.

The BOSS's axe has solidly slammed onto Su Sheng's Shield, and another 50–60 thousand damage burst erupted.

Moreover, this time… although Su Sheng still doesn't budge, the BOSS's axe, after hitting Su Sheng's Shield, caused a ring of black demonic flames to spread outward.

The demonic flames scorch…

With this, not only Su Sheng, but also the Shen Wang and the Twelve-winged Angel near him, as well as the group of Huaxia high-level players, were all covered in black demonic flames.

Su Sheng couldn't help but curl his lip; indeed, this cursed demonic flame effect triggered at 100%.

"These demonic flames are truly perverse."

The Chairman, Zhi Ge Wei Wu, who practices war to stop war, looking at his own demonic flame condition, couldn't help but say.

"Everyone step back; we can't help."

The Shen Wang saw this, shook his head, feeling a bit frustrated, but at this stage, facing such a lord‑level BOSS as a hero unit, they truly are powerless.

It is itself a lord‑level BOSS after the Fourth Rebirth stage, also of the Demon Race, and moreover a hero unit.

At this point, it's basically stacked with every possible bonus.

Thus, the group of Huaxia high-level players all stepped back and spread out.

As for attempting to tackle this lord‑level BOSS?!

The Huaxia high-level players have no such intention; this isn't a regular BOSS.

If it were a regular BOSS, and Mo Wen Qianchen could withstand it, they'd truly consider trying… even though the BOSS heals up to 2 million per second.

But this thing is a hero unit… the current situation is just as the Two-winged Angel just said, we should be grateful that the BOSS's attention is now on Su Sheng.

However, obviously…

The Huaxia high-level players may hold this thought, but others do not.

They only saw Su Sheng holding the BOSS, and instinctively thought they could try to take it on.

Lord‑level BOSSes, however, have a chance to drop Divine Artifacts!

The guaranteed drop is always legendary equipment, not materials, not items, but gear!

Thus, as the group of high-level players scattered.

A large group of Beibang fuwuqi players on the city wall, including some Huaxia ranged‑class players, launched attacks on the BOSS!

After all, the BOSS has now entered their attack range.

"Stop!!"

"You bunch of fools!!"

"All stop!!"

…

These players' actions directly gave the Huaxia high-level players present a sudden fright, and they almost shouted to stop.

MD!

Misstep!

Also blame them for forgetting to remind them in time not to act rashly.

After all, their attention was completely drawn by the BOSS.

Those players who launched attacks were all stunned for a moment, and some who were about to follow suit also hurriedly stopped.

What's going on?!

How could these Huaxia top players unanimously stop them?

While they were still dazed, their attacks also landed on the BOSS.

But, whether arrows or magic, all ranged attacks, when they reached the BOSS, passed through the blazing demonic flames on the BOSS's body.

After passing through the black demonic flames, those ranged attacks were all weakened…

The originally sharp arrows became dull, and the brilliant flashing magic also grew dim.

Seeing this, the players couldn't help but reveal astonished expressions.

And after being weakened, the attacks that hit the BOSS caused damage so horrific it was hard to behold, with almost half of the attacks failing to pierce defenses.

Even those that did break through, triple-digit damage was rare.

After all, the Huaxia top players on this side didn't take action; most of those who acted were ordinary players from Beibang, with also a small portion of Huaxia players.

Nearly ten thousand people took action, yet the total damage inflicted on the BOSS didn't even reach one million.

The BOSS's health bar instantly refilled.

Not only that…

The BOSS's attention was directly drawn to them, and it looked up at the ranged players on the city wall…

"This bunch of idiots…"

Some of the Huaxia top players with ranged professions standing on the city wall couldn't help but put a hand to their forehead.

"Really a bunch of noisy bugs…"

The BOSS muttered to itself, then directly gave up on Su Sheng, lifted its foot and moved toward the Beibang National War Main City…
